What is warehouse planning?

Warehouse planning refers to the strategic and operational design of a warehouse’s structure, layout, processes, and resource allocation to ensure optimal inventory storage, order processing, and space utilization.

Warehouse planning in eCommerce

In eCommerce, efficient warehouse planning is crucial for scaling fulfillment operations, reducing picking times, and ensuring fast delivery. It includes defining storage zones, forecasting stock levels, and aligning warehouse capacity with order volumes. With everstox, brands don’t have to plan their own infrastructure – they get access to a network of fulfillment centers across Europe, the UK, and the US, and can flexibly scale based on demand, supported by real-time data and automated workflows.

Example for warehouse planning

A health brand switches to everstox for better scalability. Instead of investing in its own warehouse planning, it activates two fulfillment centers in Germany and Spain. Inventory is distributed automatically based on order data and shipping zones.
